Blackout Blinds in Kids Rooms

Installing blackout blinds in kids rooms is a great idea, for both you and your children. Blackout blinds help by significantly reducing the amount of light that comes in through a window. Because they are blackout blinds, not shades or drapes, you can maintain your privacy while having a lot of flexibility in the light control.

Plus, since most kids today don’t get enough good sleep, installing blackout blinds can really help them get a good night’s rest. Kids can go to bed earlier and stay asleep longer because the sunlight isn’t shining in their eyes.

Best Types of Blackout Blinds for Kids Rooms

When you’re looking to install blackout blinds in kids rooms, you need to make sure that they are durable, easy to clean, and of course, child friendly. The best type of blinds for kids rooms are faux wood blinds since they are extremely durable, won’t easily warp or crack, and are easy to clean. While you can choose blackout blinds with cloth tapes, we suggest routeless blackout blinds in kids rooms because they are easier to clean than blinds with cloth tapes.

While it depends on the decorating style of your room, painted blackout blinds look great in kids rooms. While installing white painted blackout blinds may sound like a disaster in a child’s room, they clean up easily with a damp cloth, so you don’t need to worry about stains. To keep them child friendly, be sure to order cleat blocks: these little plastic hooks can help keep cords up out of your child’s reach. Also be sure not to have any loops in the cords. Don’t tie them into knots. This can be a hazard for your children. You can also choose to have a wand instead of a cord for the tilting mechanism.
